THE CHAPEL Tl1e Chapel was again, this year, a dominant influence in the life of the School. The extent of the interest, or rather pride, shown is clearly indicated in the answer given to a New Boy's question- 'WVhere did that building come fromiw The reply was built thatf' In many ways the Chapel has seen a good year, certain aspects of its activities even leading to a healthy controversy at times! In the Wfinter term three services particularly were memorable. There was our Harvest Festival on Cctober 13th. The Chapel was beautifully prepared for the occasion by many volunteers. Special thanks should go to Mrs. Wilson for her kindness in tastefully arranging the many gifts of flowers and fruit brought by the Day Boys. Then, a few weeks later, on November llth., we held the annual Service of Remembrance, when, as has been customary for many years, the Head- master read Captain Harvey's Letter and called the Roll of the Fallen. Memorial wreaths were presented and received at the Altar. Also, on November 22nd., when President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assas- sinated, a short lNIemorial Service was held after a.fternoon school, and the Headmaster gave a brief address. Our Carol Service was held on December 15th. Once again the faithful band of volunteers turned out, and the result was as expected - a tall illuminated Christmas Tree and many artistic decorations. The Confirmation Service took place on March lst., and a group of boys was presented to the Visitor, His Grace the Archbishop of British Columbia. Their names will be found elsewhere. At this service, which was attended by many parents and friends of the candidates, the Archbishop, to mark the occasion of his visit and the importance of the occasion in the spiritual life of the School, exercised his traditional right of requesting a half-holiday. The Head- master most kindly gave his consent. Cn May 3rd., anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic . The Reverend Titus, Chaplain of Royal Roads, came and gave the address. His sermon was most interesting and held the attention of even the most junior boys! In order to keep up our long-standing relationship with St. Luke's Church, the School was privileged to attend a regular Sunday Even- song Service at St. Luke's on May 31st, This connection is one that must be maintained, as the Church contains so many mementoes and memories - even to the names carved on the backs of the pews! On Sports Day Sunday Cjune 7th.J, the Chapel was swelled to overflowing, as many parents and friends came to the service. The collection which was taken was given to Oxfam , A new addition to the Altar this year is a pair of vases which was purchased with donations sent by friends of Mrs. Francis R. Symons, in her memory. Mrs. Symons had generously donated the organ which has inspired and, we hope. will continue to inspire the singing. 19
